WARNING

The Portable Monitor Storage Bracket is designed only to store the Portable Monitor. Attempting to

of control, causing severe injury or death. Always properly deploy the monitor before flowing.

surface capable of supporting the weight of the monitor and nozzle, including any shock loads that
may result from rough roads. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine that the installation
is capable of these loads.
